What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Two NOTAMS were issued for the runway conditions due to 12 inch snowbanks and icy patches with fair braking action prior to the attempted landing. The pilot still elected to land with the runway covered with 3 inches of snow. Aircraft touched down 1700 feet from the approach end, 5 feet left of the center line and slid for another 1900 feet sideways. The aircraft hit a snowbank with the right propeller and nose gear during the slide and came to rest on the left side of the runway, facing in the opposite direction to landing. Aircraft damage to the right engine, propeller blades and fuselage are substantial.
